The Players tournament is just over a month away - do you have your tickets yet?
For those of you planning to attend The Players (March 10-13), please click HERE to purchase tickets and use the promotional code GOLF - $40 of the cost of each ticket will be allocated back to Beth El The Beaches Synagogue.
A few answers to your questions:
- Each ticket purchased is date specific (not like in previous years where you could use a ticket for any day) so it does require some advance planning.
- The tickets are $80 each for Thursday and Sunday and $90 each for Friday and Saturday (face value) so they aren’t really discounted.
- The promotion expires on February 25.
Additional questions can be answered by clicking HERE.

Oy…
by now you know I’m REALLY a serious klutz. So, what’s the big deal…a little red wine on the terrazzo tile. Wipes up beautifully (and thank you, Ira and Elissa, for jumping in and cleaning up my mess). One wine spillage is enough for one night, but the night was young yet. Wouldn’t you know it? Another spillage. “What you say?” Twice within 2 hours! But this time I WASN’T the one who did it. I have witnesses who will attest to my innocence! And while I’m at it, I learned that it’s not a “text streaming thread’. It’s better known as a “group chat”! Who knew? You know it’s so important to keep up. Whether you’re using the old Mapquest App (you need to update that one) OR any other app OR falling asleep while the Mapquest person is fretting about missing the exit. Can you say that you are keeping up? And about that, can someone teach me how to program my “Nav” system quickly? Oh, I can do it, but isn’t there a faster way? I certainly did not need any “Nav” system to get me to the celebration honoring Rabbi Matuson at his retirement party. Absolutely a wonderful affair and truly a testament to Rabbi Matuson. Thank you, Rabbi, for all these years. Which reminds me of the two Jewish camps (one in the Ozarks and the other outside of Madison, Wisconsin) I went to (this is improper grammar). Is it too early to sing the camp song “We’re all together again, we’re here, we’re here”? It’s so close now, maybe this is it!
